I recieved this email today. I don’t use twitch, only made an account once for some specific purpose. I don’t know these people and I’m a 100% certain they don’t know me. This is just toxic marketing to lure me back in.
“Well, I wouldn’t say I was ‘missing it’, Bob.”
Everyone deals with spam and junk mail. If we all posted all of them, this community would suck more.
I don’t see how this fits mildly infuriating. It’s a normalized everyday marketing annoyance.
What differentiates an annoyance from something that is mildly infuriating? Seems like they’re pretty much the same to me.
Anyways, if this community doesn’t get any content, than i guess “mildly infuriating” means “nothingness”. We define the meaning of the concept by what we post here and what we upvote here.
I Twitch when the wind tickles deez nuts
Do people actually form any sort of relationships in Twitch chat? For a decent size streamer, chat moves so fast that I can’t imagine anyone ever recognizing anyone.
Maybe for a super small streamer.
You certainly can if you spend any decent amount of time in one game’s directory or stick to streamers in the couple thousand viewers at most. Basically niche games or being a regular to a small streamer mean you can make friends on the platform or at least recognize people.
I’ve been on the platform since 2012ish and have been a part of some great communities there, I also enjoy the massive streams of day Lirik or Summit1G but those I watch if I’m not wanting to talk to others since the chat is 10000 mph
Absolutely. Like you say, it just doesn’t happen in large streams, and the threshold is probably a lot larger than you think, since on average maybe 10% of viewers actually participate in chat. The dynamic starts shifting at around 1,000 simultaneous viewers, in my experience, between chat being readable and interactable, and being just spam. That’s still plenty big enough to qualify for partner, and even make a living off of streaming alone.
